Anyone play this?

I'm doing solo Q on EU at the moment and it actually makes me want to cut myself.

It amazes me that people can be SO BAD at a game.

Pushing a lane with the entire enemy team missing, then when they get ganked (MASSIVE SURPRISE) they rage in the chat because the team didn't help?!

I've been thoroughly impressed by the magnitude of trolling evident in the LoL community.

It sucks, honestly. I love the game but the community makes me so, so sad.

I won't play solo queue anymore. Find a group of guys to group with. The ENEMY trolling is to be expected and kind of part of any game nowadays, sadly. But when your ALLIES are trolling you, it's a bad community.

Feel free to send me a PM if you want some people to play with that use voice and have a grasp of how the game works (such as not getting ganked when the whole team's missing) - however, we're on the North American server, so you may not want to, understandably.

yah, I play LoL now and again EU, mostly solo top, I only really log on when my friends are playing it, I prefer HoN but nobody else I know does and there is no way I'm playing that w/o friends lol, if you think trolling in LoL is bad try HoN

same name as forums name if you wanna play some though

I tried LoL, being a huge DOTA nut back in the day....

But... I just can't stand every single aspect of it. The visuals are sloppy and I can't stand the art style, there are barely any sound effects, and the pace is sooooo slow and it's very casual friendly.

I much prefer Heroes of Newerth. It's basically what DOTA 2 SHOULD be.

THE MAGIC BELONGS TO MEEEEEEEE.

yeah some seriously flaws in this game.
the absence of backfill really hurts this game, though it could be pretty tricky to create the right backfill system for LoL.

And yes, LoL is only bearable to play with friends, the community is too bad to try anything else.

The problem with Backfill in MOBAs... it simply wouldn't work. Nobody would want to join a game to take over a gimped character.

HoN has a great anti-leaver system. Leave too many games, you get banned from joining them until you play enough games not using leaver protection to get your % back (you can only leave 5 times for every 100 games played).

It doesn't completely eliminate the problem of leavers, but it does a really good job cause leavers are very rare.

vanumaxguy, there is a leaver buster system in LoL, it works well from what ive seen.

But yes, solo queue is TRASH, very rarely the winning team is decided by the better team play, more about who doesn't get the troll

I play almost every night, I usually send out a call on twitter on the weekends for people to join. Let me know if any one wants to play and I can add them.
